Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are highly effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In addition, consistent and correct use of latex condoms reduces the risk of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including diseases transmitted by genital secretions, and to a lesser degree, genital ulcer diseases. Condom use may reduce the risk for genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and HPV-associated diseases, e.g., genital warts and cervical cancer.
Laboratory studies have demonstrated that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of STD pathogens.

After the encounter a square layer of skin growing up on my penis. I have never had sculp problem like dandruff, suddenly today I saw dandruff in my sculp. Always blood coming out from my teeth. And Dr told it got infected, they took my HIV test. They told me I m in high risk
I have never had such symptoms, it's been a week and I'm sick since then, yes I'm anxious but why such symptoms should appear now?
If the condom had failed you would have noticed!! Try to control your anxiety over a non risk intercourse.
How will I notice? How long HIV takes to activate!
Please don't go by the symptoms or by hypothetical questions. You would have noticed something if it took place. There's nothing to worry about. Protected sex is what the word says, protected !
I feel like if the condom was defective, and also why I have so many symptoms symptoms? Does my syphilis n urine test conclude that the prostitute is clean??
